Even on windows that only works for ttf fonts, it probably won't find fonts 
that ATM manages. They often live in /PSFonts, or something like that.

On Mac OS/X there are (I think) 3 directories that can contain fonts:
        /Library/Fonts
        /System/Library/Fonts
        ~/Library/Fonts
The first two are available system wide, the last only to the given user.

On linux (any system running X really) fonts are wherever they get put.
    $ xset -q
Will show the current font path for the X Server and
    XGetFontPath()
is a function you can call at run time.

On an X with a font server (RedHat, I think) you also need to run
    $ chkfontpath -l
(I don't know if there's a function you can call for this info).

Another way to find fonts under X:
    $ find / -name '*.pcf' -o -name '*.[ot]tf' -o -name '*.pfb' -print
